Bus rental from Nice to Bordeaux

Here is the route from Nice to Bordeaux taken by a group who recently hired a coach from Toursud - Coach Hire in France.

  • The group was made up of art and garden lovers.
  • They stopped for several nights in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, Menerbes in Provence and Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse in the Perigord.
  • The trip lasted 15 days.
  • To reduce the cost of the trip, we used coaches from three different companies (Nice, Provence and Perigord). This meant that each driver could return home each evening and avoid being charged for nights in a hotel.
